Bought Chowon's ticket :D It's so good to have that out of the way. I still have some money left over.

Chowon and I have been talking a lot these days. I wish we had this kind of contact during the school year when we are apart, too. I hope we can keep it up.

I got Minecraft, and I am learning redstone so it's pretty cool. I think I want another monitor....

Just watched the first episode of Psych. It was interesting -- very funny. I wonder how possible it is to make a person like that (as a parent to a child) while keeping a good relationship with them.

I got a new notebook, too. Excited to write in it :) Only one note so far.

I feel like I have fewer questions these days, because it seems as though none of the deepest questions really matter. Take, for example, the origin and reason for our existence. Who was there when the earth was created? We can scour the universe for evidence, measure the substance of every rock on the planet, and carefully sort every organism by its genotype, but we will still have just theories. Those theories will carry no more weight than 'creation' for those who don't believe, and besides, creation fits all of the theories anyway.

If it is imaginable, it is measurable. Just because something has a measurable probability doesn't mean it is possible, and even things with a probability of 1 have failed. Therefore we have people like Stephen Hawking who waste their lives disparately looking for an explanation of the universe which doesn't need God. Say he finds one that satisfies him: religious types will still believe their religions. There are no atheist prophets or missionaries. If an atheist is truly an atheist then his ideologies dictate that he must not care about the existence of religion inasmuch as religion doesn't hurt him (or his kids if you wanna argue that atheists can religiously care about the continuance of their seed). Because if there is no God then successful reproduction is philosophically our only reason for living, and happiness (esp in its most intense form, which most easily leads us to drugs and sex... right?) is our only reason for staying alive. Therefore if an atheist actively attacks any peaceful or local religion, then he must have reason to believe that his happiness depends directly or indirectly on thoughts which other people have about things which pertain not to him -- but that is illogical. [For my purposes, the Christian church has not always been peaceful, but I think its safe to say that it has been ever since Protestantism became acknowledged by the Catholics. It's not worth arguing for this point. Sorry if you had a bad experience with a Christian, but try a church in another town... or take a tally of churches who are out for your blood and churches who are kind to you and prove me wrong.]

There are much greater nuisances which a person can care to remove from his life as a whole than a religious person trying to witness to him, unless he doesn't like to think about why he's alive or what's going to happen when he dies -- in which case he's probably already depressed, especially if he's trying to fight the religion to solve this problem. It's a failing strategy for achieving happiness, and it's a weird way to gain a partner to keep your genes in the pool.

Allow me to propose a different explanation for this odd trend: transference, projection, conviction, denial, or any combination of the above. Atheists fight Christianity just because "they don't like it".

Wow I got really off topic...

Anyway the point was gonna be that even if you prove one way or another about the way the earth was made, nothing about the way you live your life is gonna change.

Wow, it's getting really late and I'm really tired. Night~
